The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Peterson

*Spoilers included*

At first, Gilly, she was like so rude, I mean, really. She was really like a teenage girl who's just trying to act cool. Or, a overly annoyed teenage girl. She was also very dishonest too. She stole money-- $44, from Mr.Randolph, her neighbor, who's blind and half-deaf. But, in the end, she changed. Instead of being rude, dishonest, she began to miss Trotter and William Ernest. I have a family, I have a place to call home, I have friends, I have siblings(though they can be incredibly annoying,) I have someone who loves me. But Gilly doesn't. And I thought Gilly, she found her place-- finally, at Trotter's house, but all that ends when her grandma comes and get her away, to Virginia... I actually wish she would meet Trotter, William Earnest, and Mr.Randolph again.
